The old hospital compound of the City Women’s Hospital was relatively old. The delivery room was on the fifth floor, and compared to the other hospitals, it was considered somewhat rundown. The sound insulation was not particularly good and standing outside the delivery rooms, one was able to hear the bursts of cries from expectant mothers inside.
In present times, the national policy encouraged natural birth, and a C-section would usually be avoided, barring exceptional circumstances. Besides, people also knew that natural delivery would be better than that of C-section. It didn’t matter if it was the economic view, policy view, or viewed from the child’s health perspective, natural delivery was the mainstream method, and the result would be a nightmarish pain during childbirth.
Guo Taining and Xiao Luo put on their sterile gowns, donned gloves and caps, and then changed into surgical gowns and slippers before entering the delivery room.
This drew a lot of attention. When the delivery room’s doctors and nurses saw the Director himself coming in, they came up to welcome him. Guo Taining greeted them and allowed the doctor on duty to lead them into the delivery room.
Upon arrival into the delivery room, there was an overbearing din of howls from the expectant mothers. Even Xiao Luo had trouble coping, and his facial expression became slightly discomforted because of the incessant cries. He could feel the first-hand soul-tearing pain.
“What, how can this work, isn’t that nonsense?”
After hearing what Xiao Luo was there for, the doctor on duty in the delivery room objected immediately, “Giving birth to a child is not playing house. How can he be allowed to do as he pleases? What if something happens to the mother? Who will be responsible for that? Director, don’t make such a mistake.”
Guo Taining showed signs of reluctance and asked, “Xiao Luo, do you have…”
“Director Guo, if anything were to happen to the expectant mother, then I will take full responsibility for it. We’ve already signed it in black and white on paper just now,” Xiao Luo said, interrupting immediately.
Words were easy to say, but Guo Taining still felt uneasy. After all, the expectant mother was equivalent to two lives. It was not like a mouse in the laboratory. If anything were to happen, the responsibility was not something that Xiao Luo could just bear; the hospital would still have to take the primary responsibility.
“Doctor Liu.”
Guo Taining raised his hands and signaled for the doctor on duty to remain calm. “Go and call the nurse over. Get ready for any emergency situations. Once the mother shows any signs of abnormalities, she should be sent to the delivery room immediately,” he instructed.
“Director…”
“Just do as I say.”
Guo Taining was determined. As long as he remembered his ex-wife committing suicide from the fifth floor because of the pain that she could not bear, it was as though he were tranquilized. He didn’t want this tragedy to repeat itself, so he had an unimaginable desire for this painless delivery method.
Doctor Liu had no choice but to agree and proceeded to execute Guo Taining’s orders.
Soon, many nurses came over to the waiting room carrying various equipment for emergency treatment. Once there were any indicators from the expectant mother, they would immediately take the corresponding measures.
“You can start now,” Guo Taining said to Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo nodded in response. He stopped in front of an expectant mother lying on the nearest hospital bed and slowly removed the fetal monitor on her body. He asked a nurse to take off the pants and expose her lower back.
“What is this person doing?”
“He said he could help the expectant mothers achieve a truly painless delivery.”
“Could he be just some conman who picked it up from the internet? There is no such method in this world. How dare he say he can eliminate the pain of expectant mothers completely?”
The young nurses started talking in hushed voices. Everyone was skeptical and did not believe that Xiao Luo had such an ability.
“Stop talking and standby for any emergency treatment!”
Doctor Liu coughed dryly as a reminder. She had authority in the delivery room, and her cold voice caused all the nurses to shut their mouths and stop talking.
Xiao Luo pretended not to hear her as he pulled out a 10 cm needle as thin as a strand of hair. He slowly pierced it into the position of the Chang Qiang acupuncture point with a gentle, soft force. Then, he twirled the needle with his thumb and index finger.
The expectant mother, who had initially been howling in pain, immediately stopped.

“To apply this needle, you need to measure the depth of the coccyx of the pregnant woman. This needle has to be pierced accurately into the last section of the coccyx without any error, and during the application, it has to be light but not too light. If it is too light, then the effect will not be felt, and conversely, it will cause more pain to the expectant mother if it is too heavy. Just a little strength would be great,” he said, “The first needle will test the skills of your fingers; if Director Guo wishes to master this method, then more practice will be required.”
Xiao Luo explained the process to Guo Taining while performing the acupuncture. He was not a selfish person, nor was he the living embodiment of Buddha. If permitted, then he would not hold back from giving something back to society.
“After the first needle, the second needle has to be pierced a the Yang Guan acupuncture point on the back…
“This needle is about speed. It has to be inserted quickly and will sustain the pain relief,” Xiao Luo explained.
As soon as Xiao Luo stopped talking, the thin needle was already pierced into the Yang Guan point at the parturient mother’s back. Everyone who was watching was dumbfounded. It was too fast that their eyes could hardly follow the procedure. The needle was as though he had plucked it from thin air before inserting it into the back of the pregnant woman.
From that point on, no one dared to look at Xiao Luo with indifference. Even Doctor Liu was stunned. The speed of his hands was shocking, and the technique was very professional. After the two needles were placed, the expectant mother was no longer screaming, and in the end, she could even open her eyes to look around the environment.
Guo Taining was feeling a strange excitement in his heart. He quickly called out, “Doctor Liu, quickly ask her how she’s feeling!”
Doctor Liu took over immediately, then walked up and said, “Liang Qiaoli, do you still feel any pain now?”
“Not painful. It doesn’t hurt at all, doctor. What is wrong with me? Is this normal?” the expectant mother asked, a little panicked, now that the pain had dissipated.
“Quickly give her a fetal monitoring test and check the degree of opening of her cervix.”
“Okay.”
A few nurses promptly placed the fetal monitor back on the expectant mother, and in a short time, the results were obtained.
“Doctor Liu, the fetal monitor shows that the mother’s condition is normal, and the contractions of the uterus are also very regular.”
“The opening of the cervix is normal, and it has dilated to 5 inches.”
The two nurses reported the situation of the expectant mother.
Doctor Liu hurriedly asked the expectant mother, “Liang Qiaoli, do you feel like you want to take a sh*t?”
“Yes, the feeling is getting stronger,” the expectant mother replied.
“She’s going to give birth, quickly send her to the delivery room!”
Faced with such a scenario, the experienced Doctor Liu quickly made a decision.
What? Almost giving birth?
Not feeling any pain from giving birth?
Everyone in the delivery room was shocked. Guo Taining widened his eyes, and his jaws dropped. He looked at Xiao Luo incredulously. The problems that mainstream medicines could not solve had actually been solved by the young man in front of him with just two needles. Once this news got out, the whole medical profession would definitely be shaken by it.
“Since I’m here now, let’s just help all the expectant mothers ease their pain. Director Guo could also use this chance to practice the technique,” Xiao Luo said.
“Great, great!”
Guo Taining nodded excitedly. Suddenly his eyes were filled with tears. If he had met this young man ten years ago, then his late wife would not have died.
